How install axis mod with display of cuting parameters by D.L.?

Came a day, in which I must come out from shadow and ask you at forum about my problem. Hello everyone

I try install axis modification display parameters creating by D.L. from this topic forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/29735-axis-modifications?start=20 . I use debian buster with linuxcnc 2.8.2. I’m basic linuxs user, and I need help.

At the beginning i changed files axis, axis.tcl and glcanon.py, but I didn't how end this method… So I use finally solution:

In first step I downloading from this page github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/tree/2.8-axis-mod zip archive ( github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/archive/ref...ads/2.8-axis-mod.zip ).
Second step. I unpacking at terminal .zip $ unzip linuxcnc-2.8-axis-mod.zip
Third step. In  /linuxcnc-2.8-axis-mod/debian/ I must use ./configure command?
I’m stuck.
Mod is new and I can’t found any simply information at internet.

Sorry for my language.

Thanks for Your great job for Linuxcnc!

Hi.
There are 2 ways to install this mod:
1. Replace files(axis, axis.tcl and glcanon.py) in existing LinuxCNC, begins to work immediately.
2. Standard compilation from sources downloaded from: github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/archive/ref...ads/2.8-axis-mod.zip
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html

Setup to existing LinuxCNC v 2.8.2:
Open linuxcnc-2.8-axis-mod/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/axis.py with text editor and replacetoand save file.

Hmm... Still I have problem.
First i changed files on my laptop (without LPT).
I replace my files axis, axis.tcl and glcanon.py on these:
github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/blob/06ecce...axis/scripts/axis.py
github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/blob/06ecce...re/axis/tcl/axis.tcl
github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/blob/06ecce...hon/rs274/glcanon.py
but was error
" Error constructing bar({'halpin': 'spindle-speed', 'max_': 3000}):
Duplicate item name 'spindle-speed' "
because I created pyvcp custompanel. I turn off pyvcp display and linuxcnc ran corect, but used old display configuration.

Maybe I've incorrect heading in axis.py, but i check
#!/usr/bin/python2 -my
#!/usr/bin/env python2
#!/usr/bin/python
but none was correct and all the time i saw old axis position at the display.

Maybe I didn't, maybe better is use standard compilation from sources - I can't broken ;D
wget -ok
unzip -t -ok
unzip -ok
sudo mv axis -ok
sudo mv axis.tcl -ok
sudo mv glcanon.py - invalid location. My location is: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rs274/glcanon.py so I changed location i I copied file.
sudo cp axis -ok
sudo cp axis.tcl -ok
sudo cp glcanon.py -ok with my location.
Last step was changed heading in axis.py file and.... nothing.

I thought that, problem is in laptop with simulation, so I used PC with configuration for 7i76e + LPT with nativecam and I did everything once again, but I again see the same display. I check new configuration, simply milling by lpt... zero of progress...

So maybe... if I have different access path I can't copy wholes files and I restored my oryginall files and I manually changed files in accordance with github.com/ddotldot/linuxcnc/commit/06ec...dd61e88435f146a7ddb0 (was added one line more then in my axis.py - line 176 )
Mod still is inactive. Where I make mistake?

You activated menu items "Show spindle speed", "Show cutting speed", "Show feed per tooth | feed per rev", "Show spindle angle"?

Ten times i make the same, because i didn't use check marks, I love it xD
I must activated 4 position and deactivated "show offsets".

Its done.

To fix it I renamed hal pins to axisui.display-spindle-speed and axisui.display-spindle-angle.
And I added a short mod description and setup guide: forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/29735-axis-mo...ions?start=40#228305
